PRAYER 

For the complete success of the Baron Lionel de Rothschild* 
M.P. Elect for the City of London ; for Sir Moses Mon- 
(efiore, Bart., the Champion of the Jews and Defender 
of their Rights ; for His Holiness Pope Pius IX, the pro- 
moter of Enligbtenment and the Liberator of the Jews ; 
and for Fler Majesty Queen Victoria I, under whose 
Dominion the Jews of Great Britain acquired full 
Emancipation. 

Lord, Creator of the Universe, I have come 
to supplicate Thee, for Thou art the only God ; 
the pure source of Light and the clear fountain of 
Goodness ; the first cause of all causes and Origin 
of all Existence ; the Root of all Wisdom and 
Knowledge, the Truth of all truths, the Honor of 
all honors, and the Glory of every glory. Thou art 
He who sceth all and whom no man can see, who 
penetrateth into the depth of all beings and whom 
no Being can penetrate, who dwelleth in theHighest 
of Heavens, and look est down upon the lowest crea- 
ture on Earth; whose Will animated Nature, 
but whom Nature cannot conceive; whose Spirit 
hovers upon Creation, but whom none in the Crea- 
tion can comprehend ; who breathed the breath of

life in man, but whose Life no man can understand ; 
who endoweth man with Wisdom, but the depth of 
whose Wisdom no human being is able to fathom. 
Thou Lord, art the Creator, but not Created ; the 
Kuler, but not ruled ; the Leader, but not led ; the 
Benefactor, but not benefitted ; Thou art the King 
who requireth no minister; the Hero who requireth 
no anny ; the Warrior, who requireth no weapon ; 
the J udge, who requires no council ; the Possessor 
of all and the Giver of all. 

Yet as unlimited thy greatness, as unlimited is 
thy Goodness ; as endless thy power, as endless is 
thy Compassion; as boundless thy wisdom, as 
boundless is thy Eorbearance; yea. Thou hast 
deigned in thy great Mercy to look down from Thy 
Holy habitation and instruct man in the Laws 
which Thy Wisdow has founded; Thou teachest 
him the Statutes and Ordinances written by thy 
inspiration, Thou leadest liiiii in the way of life, 
of virtue, and of glory, of blessing here and here- 
after. 

Lord my God, when I think of the abundant 
goodness which thou bestowest on thy Creatures, 
and yet, how ungrateful is the heart of man ; when 
I reflect on Thy infinite kindness, and yet how 
wicked is the soul of man : when 1 ponder on thy 
great humility and how proud and overbearing is 
frail man ; when I remember how disinterested is

thy bounty and how vain, how ostentatious, how 
interested, how selfish is foolish man; when 1 
recollect how long-suffering is thy judgment, and 
how despotic is the rule of haughty man ; when 1 
contrast Thy ways with the ways of man — a con- 
trast as far and as distant " as the Heavens are 
from the Earth " I lack the courage to approach 
the throne of thy glory, and shudder back, as my 
mind's eye beholdetli the borders which fill the 
Temple of Nature. 

But a thought stealeth upon me, that Thou hast 
again in Thy immeasurable forbearance permitted 
Man to pray unto Thee, and in a contrite heart and 
broken spirit to supplicate thee and implore thy 
forgiveness. 1 feel composed and venture to draw 
nigh unto thee, and to pour out the following prayer 
from the innermost recesses of my heart, 

O Lord ! who relieveth the oppressed and loosen- 
eth the bands of the Captives, let me beseech Thee 
to prosper the cause of religious freedom, which 
had been so nobly embraced by the Baron Lionel 
de E-othschild, whom a Mighty City has chosen as 
the advocate of their interests in Britain's Legisla- 
tive Assembly. 1 implore thee that Thou mayest 
direct the minds and hearts of the Senators of that 
assembly to receive him in that Union and Love 
which Thou desirest between man and man. For 
have not we all one Father! Has not one God

created us all? and whysliould we deal treacherously 
a man against his brother ? Lord, who hast 
endoM'ed man with the power of speech, give him a 
"learned tongue,' that his council may find favor in 
the eyes of his Colleagues, that he may advise salu- 
tary measures for the welfare of the nation, and the 
prosperity of his country. 

Grant also long life to, and success in all the 
undertakings of the Champion of our nation* the 
j-efuter of calumnies, the advocate of innocence, Sir 
Moses Montefiore. Thou has given him grace in 
the sight of mighty Sovereigns and potent Rulers 
when he pleaded the cause of Thy people: thou 
hast strengthened his mind to surmount the diffi- 
culties and remove the prejudices, which threatened 
destruction to the people of Israel. Mayest thou, 
Lord, continue to bless him with Thy favor and 
]»ro]ong his life, and that of his noble Lady, 
Avho readily shared the fatigues and trouble of her 
uobie Consort, from her love to the nation of whom 
thou said'st, " I will bless those who bless thee," 

And whilst by tlie spirit of toleration and kindly 
union, which in Thy mercy thou hast poured out 
over this happy Isle, my Brethren enjoy the pros- 
])ects of a full participation in the rights of man and 
privileges of their fellow-citizen, a new era has 
recently dawned over the Jews in the " Eternal 
City" once the mightiest of the most extensiAe 
Empire that ruled the world — the City of Rome.

For ill thy infinite wisdom hast tlioii directed tlie 
mind of Pius IX, "to release the pris^oners from 
dungeons, and letting the oppressed go free'' , who 
has relieved a persecuted race from the suiFerings 
Avhicli have so long pressed them down ; and whois 
spreading fast the seeds of salvation over a king- 
dom long celebrated alike for its power, tyranny 
and religious persecution. 

It is thou, Lord,, who has stirred up the heart 
of the nohle-minded PIUS to win for himself the 
applause, the admiration* the esteem of every 
nation and of every sect. Whilst all Italy is 
ringing with songs of gratitude to its moral rege- 
nerator, Europe at large and most especially 
England is watching with admiration his illustrious 
career, and every heart in which human love dwells 
is fervently praying that his nohle exertions may 
be crowned with success." Lord, bless his efforts, 
strengthen his hands if ever they grow weary against 
the dark enemy, and preserve the life of him, who 
loveth that nation which is unto thee *'like the 
apple of the eye," 

And finally let me beseech You, Lord. King ol 
kings, to bless our Gracious Sovereign the Queen 
Victoria I., under whose dominions the sun of 
liberty shines brighter every day, the seeds of bro- 
therly union between Jew and Christian grou" into 
goodly fruit; and under whose sceptre the tree of

long the life of Her Koyal Consort the Prince 
Albert and their offsprings. Grant also renewed 
vigour and prolong the days of that benevolent and 
pious Lady Her Majesty Queen Adelaide. Continue 
unto them the blessings of peace and union, which 
thou hast bestowed unto them, and which they are 
desirous to promote among the Inhabitants of this 
great Empire. Inspire them with thy wisdom not 
to relax in their benevolent exertions, and to work 
good for thy people of Israel May the words of 
my mouth and the meditations of my heart be ac-

Redeemer.— AMEN !

A Song of Degrees: — Wlicn tlie Lord turned 
the captivity of Zion, we were like those who are 
awakened from a dream. Then was our mouths 
filled with laughter, and our tongue with song. 
They then said among the nations, the Lord hath 
wrought great things for them. The Lord hath 
wrought great things for us ; for which we rejoice. 
Turn our captivity, Lord ! as the streams of the 
south. They who sow in tears, shall reap in joy. 
He who goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious 
seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, 
bearing home his sheaves," — Psalra cxxx. 

'• I will mention the loving kindness of the Lord, 
and the praises of the Lord, according to all that 
the Lord hath bestowed on us, and the great good" 
ness towards the house of Israel, which he hath 
bestowed on them, according to his mercies, and 
according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses." 
— Isaiah Ixiii, v. 7.
